More Piano and Guitar Music Lesson Instruction info from Natalie Cox

To the best of my ability I honestly meet you where you are at with your own musical gifts, musical aptitudes, skills and go from there, helping with your musical growth. Some additional musical topics I instruct about are included in the following. Basic beginning, like how to hold the guitar so that you are comfortable, and with the piano, learning to keep oneself distanced away appropriately from the instrument so that your arms and hands have the best angles to play well. Another topic of basic beginning with piano is how to develop hand movement while having fun. Basic stretching, that takes less than 3 to 4 minutes, so that it is easier to play the guitar and piano.
When I work with children, I usually play at least one musical game at least every other lesson to encourage ear training and rhythm development. The earliest age I teach with guitar is usually six. The earliest age I teach with piano is four. There are always exceptions. Fun, laughter and enjoyment are mandatory.
When I teach, I focus on what works. I do not adhere to any one specific methodology and "make" the student follow it. I am familiar with several music educational methodologies and integrate all of them to help you have a positive musical experience I endorse several music education methodologies, including Dalcroze, Suzuki, Solfege, and Orff. I try to help you, the piano and guitar student to develop your own strategies that work for you.
I teach listening skills that will benefit students so that increased comprehension can take place to further other and additional musical skills. I help to develop the musical ear by helping students to notice what it is he or she is listening to, pitch differential, the intervals- how far apart are the musical sounds and how that correlates with ear to hand/bodymovement. In the lesson, this is accomplished by playing musical games, analyzing student's choice recordings, and learning the language of intervals including different types of chords and chord sonorities, textures of the sound. I encourage playing by ear from already knowing the song "by heart," and how to play by ear from using recordings.
Lessons can start at generally age of five for the piano and generally the age of 7 for guitar. At any age and at any musical caliber, one can enhance melodic and rhythmic aptitude and skills. At the very beginning, it is noting the vocabulary difference between melody and rhythm and understanding how melody and rhythm works together. Usually, the study of melody or "soloing" is how most beginning musicians start to practice. The melody includes rhythm. This leads to memorizing the song on the piano or guitar, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or When the Saints Go Marching In. I usually recommend every guitar and piano player to keep a few songsmemorized from the very start. So that means I also teach how to memorize music from a few different perspectives, including classical style.
There are worlds of different rhythms, as MOST of us already well know. At the beginning stages of piano and guitar study this means how to keep a steady beat and become aware of different rhythms, styles of rhythms, how to create your own rhythms are all musical topics that I instruct. Some of my students prefer to learn multitudes of rhythm patterns, while some of my students like to become aware of musical genres which are defined by rhythm. It is important to me for each individual student to be able to assess accurately where they are at rhythmically. It is not a good nor bad thing. Rhythm is something to be learned and rhythm is a skill, as well as melody. When the person who is taking lessons from me can understand how he or she relates with rhythm, it becomes much easier to learn rhythm and about rhythm. If you are patient with yourself, you will understand how you personally learn rhythm skills and keep them to your musical advantage.

In piano and guitar lessons, I teach how to understand musical notation and reading of staves,tablature and other forms of sheetmusic. I accomplish this by encouraging parents to expose their children to listen to music, in turn, using their developed ear- there's that ear to hand/arm movement stuff- to assist them in reading. There are several ways to learn how to read music. In the beginning stages color code paper charts, rote, memory, simply making a commitment to do it and more.
Further musical topics that I use to teach piano and guitar lessons with are introductions and exposure to different musical styles of modern day societies and historical concepts. I teach basic western music theory andintegration of modalities. When I say mode, I am referring to the historical collection from Europe, often called the Seven Church Modes, that are representations of seven pre-existing cultures before and during the Roman Empire. These modes were in use dating back to around 800 AD, the modes were assimilated and are passed on in today's European and American music.Learnimprovisationaltechniques- this also ties in with knowing intervals and basic theory, scales major minor pentatonic chord development, chord sequencing. songwriting. Improvising is simple for a lot of my students. I simply ask the student at the beginning stages to make up a melody while I play bass chords or a bass line. Improvising evolves with the use of knowledge from scales and basic to advanced chord knowledge and of course practice. Thirty minutes four to five days weekly is what is suggested for practicing and then the private lesson.

I do not ask nor require any of my students to do all of the above. Rather, I meet with you, see what you want to do musically, make up a plan of action that you the individual agree with or the family agrees with. We proceed from there with music lessons. When you take lessons from me on a more continuous basis, we re-discuss your goals with piano and guitar music about every lesson to make sure youare headed in a musical direction that you want to go.
Students are encouraged to go at a pace you are comfortable with. Students are encouraged to develop your own individual musicianship, artistic style and creativity. Students are encouraged to make up your own musical goals. Family members are invited and welcome to join during the lesson. It is important to me the person feel comfortable, relaxed and enjoy their learning process.

One music book does not fit all. I use different method books to teach with. Some personalities do better with one set of music books and others do better with different music books. If you have pre-existing music books that you like- let's use them. If you have music books that you do not like, I suggest recycling them to a library, book store, reselling them or give them to a neighbor.

Written contracts are available upon request with piano and guitar students. I do ask for common courtesy like calling me as soon as possible if you or your child cannot make it for the scheduled lesson so that we can reschedule the lesson date or just go to the next week. If I show up for a lesson, you are not there and you did not call me the morning of the lesson, payment for that missed lesson that day is requested. Lessons are $20 per half hour.

Cadmium

Cadmium is found in Industrial Activities such as conveyor belts packaging foods, mining, smelting, manufacturing of batteries, rechargeable batteries, soldering, alloys, pigments and stabilizers. Cadmium is used for fillings for teeth. Water can be contaminated with cadmium from mining. Cadmium causes hunching over bone disease.

Atrazine

Please Read Dr. Mercola's Article titled How to Protect Yourself From Atrazine and Other Pesticides. Atrazine is an herbicide. It is proven to cause reproductive abnormalities. It is found in our water from field runoff into our rivers and waterways.

Mercury

Traces of different types of mercury are found in High Fructose Corn Syrup. Avoiding these foods is diabetes prevention and taking care of your health. Mercury is found in our rivers and water ways. Mercury can be found in thermometers, barometers, historic hats, modern light bulbs and more,

Take Care of Asbestos & Lead Paint and Plumbing

People have gone to a GREAT deal of trouble to get & keep things safe.

Will Rogers Memorial Highway 10,000,000 Tons Zinc and Lead

Area has been mined since 1700's.

Facing the Facts

Mining waste, sometimes called chat, gets relocated. Sometimes chat is too poisonous. Many times mining waste is sold to make consumer products.

We do not NEED aluminum or lead/pb in our kitchens

There is a warning on the nonstick aluminum pans

What is the Center for Disease Control?

Center for Disease Control & Prevention mission statement from their website states:
Collaborating to create the expertise, information, and tools that people and communities need to protect their health – through health promotion, prevention of disease, injury and disability, and preparedness for new health threats.

CDC seeks to accomplish its mission by working with partners throughout the nation and the world to 1) monitor health, 2) detect and investigate health problems, 3)conduct research to enhance prevention, 4) develop and advocate sound public health policies, 5) implement prevention strategies, 6) promote healthy behaviors, 7) foster safe and healthful environments, 8) provide leadership and training.

CDC offers information about the dangers of lead/pb and keeps a data base of children known to have lead poisoning. CDC also keeps literature about how to monitor blood lead level cases and more.

Lead/pb in Kitchenware

Using glass instead of plastic and glue in to go cups is one form of reducing poison exposure to prevent cancer.

There are also glass cookware and stove top glass tea pots available. Several authorities state that glass cookware is the healthiest. It is a fact that Tephalon, Cephalon, and other non stick cookware cause cancer and other illnesses.

Porcelain many times also contains lead/pb, Please check a safety data material sheet and or the contact the manufacturer to find out how much lead/pb is being used. Crock pots are known to contain lead/pb.

I have found documents dating from 1917 about the dangers of aluminum cookware and utensils. One source is mentioned on my aluminum poisoning article.

Microwaves are outlawed in certain countries. There are several documents and studies that WARN people about the use of microwaves. Microwaves are health threats.

Tephlon and Cephalon are known to cause cancer. Any and all heavy metals when heated are known to be more poisonous then when at room temperature.

WARNING: There are several glass cookwares that have levels of lead/pb in them. Corning ware is also known to have lead/pb.

Asbestos is an outlawed insulation, a cotton looking material used during the time of Benjamin Franklin up through this present moment. It was used because it did not catch on fire. It was/is used in all kinds of things that we take for granted, vehicle trunks, traveling trunks that rode in covered wagons. You can find
asbestos in purses for padding, the list goes on and on. If you see brown to white flaky stuff from an antique, remember IT IS GUILTY until proven innocent. I have not ever tested for asbestos. If you want to learn more about it ask somebody who is a professional about asbestos. Cadmium is also a dangerous substance- if you see a lot of red in any antique- consider cadmium. It is/was used in red leather looking stuff. When some of us stopped using animal brains and green leaf smoke for tanning leather, some of us resorted to using lead and cadmium clay compound mix as a preservative. Unfortunately, that type of preserving method causes cancer, insanity, and death. Mercury dimes really do have mercury.

Glass of all types may or may not have lead. If you keep fluid in them, the fluid stands a good chance of lead leach. Lead leach is where the lead leaches onto particles and makes other lead particles bigger by leaching together. In a lead damaged house, where the brown is, there is usually lead either behind the wall where it is brown, around the plumbing parts, and lead leaching also happens in crock pots as you cook food.

Antiques with glass are suspicious of lead/pb. Pot metal also commonly is lead/pb. Pot metal is easily bendable. Floor lamps, farm equipment, any antique with paint is guilty until proven innocent. I am sure that somewhere some one has made a list of antiques containing lead/pb. I do remember to help stop the deterioration of antiques and for lead safety it is best to keep them in lead safe glass containers or in plastic.

Lead/pb in schools can be found in the plumbing lines, the service lines, the paint, and electric cords. If there is a ceramic sink where there the enamal is gone or worn away drastically, the sink will usually demonstrate over 5 ppm in the porous ceramic sink.

There are several LAWS regarding soldering and lead plumbing.

Drinking, Cooking, Showering and Washing Water in Lead Safety

Using filtered water to drink and cook reduces poison exposure. It is recommended to take showers, instead of bathes to reduce exposure to lead/pb and Atrazene. Washing clothes in cold water, instead of hot or warm to reduce lead/pb exposure on your clothes. Using baking soda or salt as a disinfectant works.

Soldering in hot water tanks have lead/pb, definitely the ones before 1986. So at a public school, it is wise to have lead safe hot water heaters.

DAMP WIPING REMOVES HARMFUL DUST PARTICLES

Where is lead dust from?

What is Lead Dust? There are several types of lead/pb dust. 1) Household dust that accumulates on lead/pb electric cords is lead dust. 2) Very fine lead paint chips are lead/pb dust. 3) When somebody is sanding off lead/pb paint from window sills or antiques or trim, etc, that's lead dust. 4)When a tornado/microburst stirs up old piled up lead plumbing lines and pipes that have been sitting outside for years and they blow apart into fine metal flakes, that too is lead/pb dust. 5) Construction workers are known to bring in lead/pb from their boots. They hug their children before changing out of work clothes and accidentally poison their children from dust. 6) People who work at battery plants, have to shower and change their clothes before they leave their job due to lead/pb. 7) People who work at plastics plants, they have to change their clothes before they leave their job due to lead dust. 8) The lead/pb metal flakings that come from pre-existing coal mines are considered lead dust 9) The lead/pb metal flakings that come from the University of Kansas are considered lead dust 10) Metal flakings that come from a pipeline making company often called in slang Slumber Jacks is considered lead dust. Slumber Jacks is known for having their workers for two weeks, then off for two weeks to do the Western Flush of Apple Sauce to reduce lead/pb poisoning effects. My understanding that is part of Slumber Jack's workers code is to have lead poisoning on a regular basis as a regular part of the job. 11) Dust in window sills from any building that was built before 1978 is considered lead/pb dust. 12) Dust that accumulates on floor trim in any building that was built before 1978 is considered lead/pb dust. ALL lead/pb dust is considered very life threatening, and YOU are worth protecting yourself by wearing appropriate safety clothing and head gear. Always wear gloves, if it is suspicious- CONSIDER IT GUILTY until proven innocent by a lead/pb surface test or a lead/pb lab test.

Avoiding Aluminum can cause health. Aluminum clogs lymphatic system. Why use it? There are WARNINGS about aluminum since at least 1917.

Did You Know that plumbing exists on the OUTSIDE of houses ?

Sometimes old lead plumbing can be found in chimneys

A blood lead level is a measurement of MICROGRAMS per deciliter. Sometimes a blood lead level is also called a blood lead level distribution. Some use scales to determine the harshness of the poisoning. In any society there is coruption and dishonesty. The best blood lead level/distribution is to have ZERO lead/pb or any poisons. When I took my Lead Safety Works Class, I was taught that anything above 2.5micrograms per deciliter is elevated blood lead level or poisoned!! Laws say differently in a lot of states. People will be arguing about it until the human race is gone. The point is: Lead/pb is a poison. People keep using this poison. Lead/pb causes cancer. If you can remove all personal belonging that have lead/pb in them. If you can keep all lead away from you as much as possible, you will not be as sick and you will have less chances of getting cancer. That is the point. If they got to measure, I let them. If I have to use THEIR scale, my measurement is ZERO tolerance for lead/pb. It kills people. If I have to play THEIR game- it is 2.5 micrograms is what is poisoned or elevated or what ever words THEY use to say and what THEY mean is THEY were TOO lazy to do something about THEIR lead problem and THEY gave it to a lot, not just you or me, but to a lot of innocent people. If you get elevated blood lead level, it is NOT your fault. You did not do ANYTHING wrong. There are A LOT of THINGS YOU can do to LOWER your blood lead level to below 1 (one) if you give yourself a few years and stay strong no matter what. Learn as much about the lead as you can, KNOW where the enemies are at. The more you KNOW about lead, the more you can avoid lead/pb. The more you know about how it leaves the body, the more you can do to get it out of your body. There are a lot of people mentioned on this page that would be happy to visit with you, if that is what you need. There are ANTI Lead groups you can join as you work on your healing process. You are not alone. You might feel alone. But you - you are not alone! EVER,
Your friend,

Copper Plumbing Since 1961

What is Lead/pb Plumbing?

Lead plumbing is plumbing that has a lot of lead. Lead plumbing includes outflow pipes, inflow pipes, elbows, soldering, and lead water mains. It starts at a reservoir or river then water treatment facility and to the faucets of your home. Lead plumbing has been outlawed in the USA since 1961-62.

The first plumbing in America is wooden service lines. Wood petrifies. In Lawrence, Ks, we still have working wooden service lines. FACT as of 2015. We also still have Lead/pb working service lines and mains. FACT as of 2015. The problem with lead is that causes diseases to adults and children.

Vermont Street in Lawrence, KS has a lead/pb water main. You cannot even use the water to put 4 drops on a lead surface test to test your belongings. The water from Vermont Street will turn a lead surface test strip red before you can test anything. This occurred October 2011.

In the state of Kansas, the Law for SAFETY and Health is COPPER for plumbing inside homes since 1961 and 1962.

Drinking water laws improve meaning poisons like herbicides and pesticides get outlawed frequently. No amount of lead/pb is safe.

Indication of lead/pb plumbing or Lead/pb pipe fittings in the home is: IS IT PAINTED? Painting over lead/pb anything whether it is paint or plumbing is a STANDARD PRACTICE and does NOT help with lead reduction.

The lead/pb from the paint and the plumbing leaches through the old latex and non volatile organic compound paint. Painting over lead/pb paint to encapsulate it may help it for a while, however you have to keep painting over it and the lead leaches though. This makes lead dust and the cycle of poisoning is in action.

When you reduce your lead exposure you have a less chance of acquiring other diseases because lead/pb breaks down the immune system making it hard for your body to fight off other diseases.
